Of course the WiFi on it is now useless for anything, though if can connect to WPA2 Airpoint. Out of date certs, so no HTTPS. Cute buttons. Better than any Kindle if used with USB & Calibre.
However a Kobo Sage seems now the best all round "portable" ereader. The 10″ & larger from anyone are too heavy and expensive.

I'm going to have to disagree that the T2 is better then any Kindle. Sure you cannot manage collections with calibre and a Kindle, but the Kindle has custom fonts and weight adjustment. A current enough Kindle handles hi-res graphics better (not too slow or rebooting or freezing and needing a reboot).
Someone on MR modified the reading app for the T1 to add in a clock and allow custom fonts. It worked rather well.
As for the Sage being the best all round portable Reader, I have to disagree. It's too large to be all that portable. I find the Libra 2 to be a better portable Reader because of the size.
If I was to get a Sage, I would also need to get a larger bag to carry it in. The bag I have now fit my Ara H2O and not Libra 2 perfectly. An 8" Reader would not fit.
